Applying to Many Schools

However, one concern is how safety schools might interpret your list. If one of your safeties looks at a list full of more prestigious schools and realizes that they are your safety (and thus you’re unlikely to actually matriculate there if they accept you), then they might view you less favorably. Just make sure they know you’re interested in them by demonstrating that interest.

<p>Check the common data set, section C7, to see if “level of interest” is considered in admissions. If it is, do not consider the school to be a safety (find an actual safety that does not consider “level of interest”).</p>
